잠언 11:21-22 KRV

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 11:22

This is the first instance of direct "similitude" in the book. As a jewel [a ring] of gold in a swine's snout. The greatest incongruity is thus expressed. Women in the East wore, and still sometimes wear, a ring run through the nostril, and hanging over the mouth, so that it is necessary to hold it up when taking food. Such a nezem Abraham's servant gave to Rebekah ( Genesis 24:22 ; comp. Isaiah 3:21 ; Ezekiel 16:12 ). The Septuagint has ἐνώτιον , "an earring." So is a fair... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 11:22

Beauty ill set off The comparison of the gold ring in the swine's snout suggests the idea of glaring incongruity. And the like is the incongruity between beauty and impurity in woman. I. THE SOURCE OF OUR DELIGHT IN PHYSICAL BEAUTY IS THAT IT EXPRESSES MORAL WORTH . Philosophers have always found it impossible to define the beautiful as an object. Analysis at last results in this—that in every beautiful object we detect an analogy to some perception in... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 11:20-21

Proverbs 11:20-21. They that are of a froward heart &c. They are odious to God, who study to compass their end by wicked means; but they whose exact observance of the rules of righteousness, in the whole course of their lives, testifies the integrity of their hearts, are highly in his favour and love. Though hand join in hand Though the wicked be fortified against God’s judgments by a numerous issue, and kindred, and friends, and by mutual strong combinations; they shall not be... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 11:22

Proverbs 11:22. As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout Which would not adorn the swine, but only be disparaged itself; so is a fair woman without discretion Who disgraceth the beauty of her body by a foolish and filthy mind. There seems to be an allusion in these words to a custom prevalent in the East, of wearing jewels upon their noses: see on Job 42:11. The meaning evidently is, “As a jewel of gold would be ill placed in the snout of a swine, which is always raking in the mire; so is... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Proverbs 11:1-31

Prosperity; uprightness; generosity (11:1-31)People are foolish to try to get rich by dishonest methods, because dishonesty brings judgment from which riches cannot save (11:1-4). By their blameless conduct, people ensure their ultimate victory; by crookedness they ensure their downfall (5-8). When good people have influence in a city, the citizens live in peace and happiness. But each city also has its troublemakers, who are a nuisance to their neighbours and create unrest in the community... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 11:21

"Though hand join in hand, the evil man shall not be unpunished; But the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.""The purpose here is merely to contrast the fates of the wicked and the righteous. The expression, `though hand join in hand' carries the meaning of `assuredly,' derived from the usual practice of striking hands in a bargain."[25] read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 11:22

"As a ring of gold in a swine's snout, So is a fair woman without discretion.""If a beautiful woman is foolish, it is the same as a gold ring in a pig's nose."[26] The word `discretion' is a very comprehensive term. "It signifies physical taste, intellectual discrimination, sound judgment and moral uprightness."[27] read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 11:21

Proverbs 11:21. Though hand join in hand— Most interpreters, by hand in hand, understand the hands of divers persons; but some take it for the hands of one and the same person, and accordingly understand the passage thus; either that, though a sinner endeavour to hide his sin as a man does the thing which he holds in one hand, and covers with the other, he shall, notwithstanding, be found out, and suffer for it; or that, though wicked men do nothing, but like an idle person have their hands... read more
